Thought someone might be interested in the fiberglassing of an old dragger's hull

 

[mainely boats]

set her inside to dry and strip everything off the hull

 

[CEShawn]

Did that boat sit in a Mass yard for a while? Thought I saw it in Nate Tynan's Windward power forever, of course could more than one made...

Cool project!!

Whats with the "gusseting" on the STBD side?

 

[JoeP]

The title of the thread goes well with what the trailer says in the third pic!

Hey Ken,did Scotts JELLY BEAN get to you yet??

 

[mainely boats]

Cool project!!

[mainely boats]

Ya it showed up last week, I'm going to post the rebuild of her also.

Hey Ken,did Scotts JELLY BEAN get to you yet??

 

[captchuck]

What will she be when your done?

 

[Badlatitude]

What will she be when your done?

a plug for a new mold?

 

[traditions]

That gusseting on the starboard side is to keep the rub rail from getting peeled of when purse siening.

 

[mainely boats]

I'm pretty sure just scolloping and shrimp

What will she be when your done?

 

[MDI45]

Wow that thing looks good under all that old paint

 

[mainely boats]

Not bad for about 40 years, garboard plank has some issues

Wow that thing looks good under all that old paint

 

[El Mar]

Wow that thing looks good under all that old paint

She really does look good and tight in those shots.

 

[mainely boats]

A few more pictures

 

[JoeP]

That is coming out really nice! To the boat it's a big breath of fresh air.
Keep up the good work.

 

[mainely boats]
